[diet] Days 16 and 17

Saturday: Let's just say that between the Little League Championship Game, the following cookout, and the Pramas birthday party for dinner, I was not even remotely on task with the diet. I had sodas, I had some wine, I had carbs... I did try to keep the protein levels up and I did have some fruit along the way, but it was just not a day designed for austerity. :) I regret nothing.

Sunday: Started back on track here. Ran late in the morning and ended up getting a breakfast sandwich for me and the boys on the way to their class. I ate only a couple of bites of the "biscuit" the egg, cheese, and bacon were on. Instead I tossed those out and rolled up the resulting mess and ate it. I also had orange juice, which I probably shouldn't have, but it was better than a soda. From there we went to Chang's Mongolian Grill for lunch, as my back was killing me and I really wasn't up to cooking, and I hadn't made it to the grocery store yet. Lots of chicken and veggies, light on the oil and no carbs. Had a Dry Soda (rhubarb -- sugar based and only 60 cal for 12 oz) and ice water. Go me. Dinner consisted of leftover chicken, leftover potatoes, and an apple for dessert. And an ice pack on my back. Went to the store later and got some fish and a steak and such, so that should be good for the week to come.

I'm very sure I didn't accomplish anything useful, but that's okay. Sunday was better than the two days previous, and I'm back on task again now. Sometimes that's just the way life is. :)

[diet] Day 18

Breakfast: 2 small handfuls Honey Nut Cheerios. A half-glass of chocolate soy milk. 1 egg. 1 slice Canadian bacon. 1 can V-8. 1 piece of toast, buttered. 1 cup tea. (I know the breakfast cereal and the soy milk weren't the best idea, but I waited too long to get breakfast and I was really hungry. My bad.)

Snack: None.

Lunch: A piece of cold, leftover chicken (no skin), cheese, a half dozen triscuits, and a handful of cherry tomatoes.

Snack: Popcorn popped in canola oil, a small Pepsi (8 oz)

Dinner: 3 slices of a pancetta and tomato and onion woodfired thin crust pizza. A Limonata. 2 scoops of gelato.

Snack: A glass of chocolate soy milk.

So let me tell you about my character....

innocent_man recently asked me if I'd be willing to go through the games I have and create characters for them, much as he does on his LJ. He likes reading about other people's characters, I guess. :) Given that the content of this blog is roughly... oh, 1% gaming and 99% everything else, it might be time to shift that ratio a bit. And I do have a lot of games on my shelves, though not as many as I once did. And I'm not doing anything with any of them right now, much to my regret. Then again, I am going to a couple of game conventions this year. Maybe I can pick up something new.

In the spirit of being the change I want to see, I've decided to accomodate him in his wishes. Who knows, it could be fun. :) I'm going to follow his lead first, however, and make a list of the games I have so I can keep track of what I have and what I've done. ( That will be behind this cut. )
